TW: BLOOD, DEATH

i will never forgive popular UT fanon for using chara as a scapegoat in the genocide run and making "sans recognizes them and attacks them on sight regardless of what run they're in" headcanons so pervasive.

mostly because "restless spirit of a long dead child who's obsessed with the concept of cosmic retribution and facing consequences for your actions" + "guy whose job is just that but he treats it on par with his hot dog sidegig" is potentially one of the most hysterical dynamics you could come up with

UPDATE: you should REALLY check out the notes on this one

Yuri Leclerc as a concept is sooo funny because here is the most beautiful woman you've ever seen, sike! He's a man actually. and you're like okay, okay, cool. he's still the most beautiful person ever, looks introverted yet elegant, so you'd expect him to have a demure-ish personality with delicate hobbies. speaks in noble tongue, voice as soft as the lilac in his hair maybe. probably into fashion as well.

and then he opens his mouth.

DEEP voice, crass, and a menace. were it not for the game's rating and setting, this guy would be cursing worse than a sailor. ANDDD the funniest thing is that he's 😂 an underground mafia boss. his first conversation with the player character is that he'd slit their throat for crossing his men. he's confident, sarcastic and smug, absolutely at odds with his soft appearance. NONE of his hobbies aside from the makeup are ""girly"" at all.

but that's not all! get this. he's... a momma's boy. intimidating fucker that he is, everything he does, the maiming the killing the swindeling, it's all to send money back to her. AND following that, he's something of a Robin Hood minus the heroic fanfare. as in, he's for the common folk. from orphans to the disabled, his care protects them all. beneath the scary job and personality, his compassion runs deep.

he can't stand not knowing things. he sings so prettily but scowls when he's made to do it in public. people call him a Savage Mockingbird and he does do nothing but mock and toy with his prey sometimes. he hates attention. A+ honors student but dropped out for doing crime. he's gotten into shit situations where people took advantage of him for his pretty looks.

he likes stargazing. he's named after a star. his real name at least. the one only his mom calls him.

isn't the dichotomy just the funniest. like don't all these aspects combined together make for the most delightfully jarring character ever. but it makes sense. the totality of his life circumstances made the person that he is now and it just... works.

"Yuri is the best he's my favorite!" -Yuri himself (actual line in game btw)

localization for media is one hell of a job.

do a quick exercise with me if you don't believe me. here are 5 JP words and phrases real quick

ヨハン = yohan = Johan

良い = ii (read as ee in reed) good, positive, nice

人 = hito = person

は = ha = is

ですよね = desuyone = an ending syntax to end a question. often used as "isn't that right?" to the prior topic.

now here's my challenge phrase. ヨハンは良い人ですよね? how would you translate this? your first pass will probably be:

Johan is a good person, isn't he?

which is... technically correct, but if this phrase is used in the presence of Johan himself, then this is a wrong translation. the speaker is also saying this in response to Johan helping them out with something. if thats the context, then this would be translated as

Johan, you're a good person, aren't you?

but... reading this phrase out loud, it sounds... wrong. clumsy. awkward. odd. if you put this in a 1st party nintendo video game, it just straight up doesn't work. a voice actor might look at this and raise an eyebrow and ask, "yo, is this a draft?"

so localization parses this, and probably looks at the bigger context of things. they may or may not be able to ask the original writer directly for any additional info like intention and hidden contexts, and may even have mandates passed down from the company to ensure that certain sensitive things are avoided. but either way, the end result is to always deliver something tonally accurate and smooth/engaging in english, since the audience is fluent in english.

and factoring that the speaker is a bit of a flirt, ヨハンは良い人ですよね? might become...

Well, aren't you just sweet, Johan?

and so, despite sounding nothing like the original first parse, this end result is actually correct and ultimately more serviceable. based on additional overall context, the line may end up extra flirty or be toned down depending. sometimes the original writers may even have a hand in localization. just because they may be say japanese doesn't mean they don't understand english enough to want things to be portrayed in a certain way

thanks for reading, peace
